Orange liught at top of the lens never goes off

Good Day. I dropped my Nikon Coolpix L16 camera onto a table. Since then when i switch the device on the lens goes out about a quarter and the goes back in and i get a lens error message. I noticed that when the lens goes out it bends to the right(looking from the top) and gets stuck by something. When i pull the lens a little to the left while switching it on everything works fine. A very small metal part came out of the camera. Any ideas? is it repairable?

My ex Z1000 wont take pictures. i turn the camera on the lens goes in and out some times it looks like its going to let me take a picture and then the lens closes back into the camera and the screen goes black.

Powershot A560 I have a Canon Powershot A560 but now when I turn it on it beeps 6 times and the screen shows "canon" in blue but then goes black and says at the bottom "lens error, restart camera". Also, then lens never fully goes in or out. Help.

The battery ran out and I was not able to recharge for a couple of days .The camera never shut down the lens still stayed out of camera body even when the battery was taken out. After recharging battery and reinserting it in the camera the camera will not function. When the power button is pushed the light goes on and the camera makes attempts to close lens but then it buzzes and makes beeping sounds and then goes off.

Lens error. lens comes out than back in turns off than on and goes back in and out than says lens error. this camera is only about 8 months old. i have a feeling if it were to get repaired some else will go wrong. doesn't seem like a reliable product very disappointed in nikon and most likely never will buy their products again.

This is probably THE most common failure among digital cameras. There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html ...

A few months ago my camera started having problems. no matter how many times i change the batteries, the camera still will not turn on and when it does it flashes a quick image and then the screen goes black and it dies without taking in the lens!!! i am very VERY careful with it and have never dropped it, so i do not understand why it is not working! the Camera is only a year old and i have used it quite a few times and it has never had a problem until now.

Inoperable When click camera "on", the lens protrudes only slightly, goes no further and I cannot see an image either through viewfinder or screen; the orange indicator light does not illuminate. Sometimes I hear the camera motor working, but nothing happens with the lens.. When I press "off", camera recedes normally. When I move the lever to view, green light illuminates and I'm able to view previous photos normally. I would greatly appreciate response promptly, since there are some beautiful s

My Kodak m1093 stops charing in 5 minutes on a new battery.
The old battery was dropped due to i thinked it goes dead but that was an lens error that i fixed later. when i used a new branded battery, it charges it only for a few minutes but if i remove and reinsert the battery while charing, it continues for more 5 minutes. i have to remove battery 10-15 times to charge it fully.
I will never buy from such a idiot company whos camera cannot tell what error it is facing like lens error or

I haven't used this camera for over a year. I have it hooked up to the charger and into a wall outlet for several hours. All 3 blue lights on top are on. When I push on the kodak screen comes on then immediately goes to a black screen. The zoom moves a little but never goes back even with the camera. Thanks, Paula

I am able to transfer images to my computer, but when I try to turn the M893 camera on when it's not connected to my laptop, the screen comes on for a second or two, lens comes out, green light is on and then blinks and turns red and blinks and then lens goes back in and camera turns off. I've tried removing the battery, wiping it off, putting it back in, camera also wont charge. It's never gotten wet or been exposed to extreme heat

It has problem on the lens. Lens doesn't extend when transferring pictures that's why it works. Kodak cameras are designed to automatically shut-off when the lens is struggling to go in or out.Follow step-by-step solution and repair on ww ...

Olympus C-370 LENS GOES OUT, IN AND SHUTS OFF

When I turn the camera on, it buzzes four or five times (a sound I have never heard it make before) then displays "Please turn the camera off and then on again". When I turn it off, it buzzes again two or three times, the screen goes blank, but the lens does not retract. The battery is charged, and the problem is the same whether in picture or display mode, whether plugged into the computer or not.

I have an Olympus x-815. Whenever i turn my camera on, the lens just keeps going in and out, about 3 or 4 times. While thats happening, the orange light is blinking. after, it rings 3 times and turns off. the screen never turns on. I've tried multiple types of batteries, and it does the same thing.

Hi
I needed to change the batteries of my PowerShot A540 and foolishly did this without turning the camera off first. It is now 'frozen' in the act of trying to retract the lens. It won't turn on. All that happens when I try to turn it on is that the green light on the top briefly goes on.
What should I do?
Thanks.

I have a HP camera CW450t camera and cannot turn it on with the power button on top. I know the batteries are good because I can turn on the camera with the review button and review the pictures that I have taken. When the power button is pressed the green light on the back of the camera flashes but the lens does not come out and the led screen does not come on. when you take your finger off of the on/off button the green light goes off as well.

Had the EXACT same problem with the CW450 model. I called support because I was mad and wanted it replaced. The support tech helped me through the issue. The answer is- NiMH. Alkaline batteries are unstable and not powerful enough for use with this c ...
